Appendix – Strategic plan
• regular student involvement in the assessment of educational activities at all levels, including
bachelor, master's, doctoral and postdoctoral studies;
• expanding the training process of students by promoting moral values and love for nature, art and
sports;
• implementing the new European system of academic self-analysis (self-study) by presenting within
the department staff meeting, every two years, the CV and the main activities of each teacher
member of the department;
• financial rewarding with merit graduation and increasing of the employment coefficient for proven
successful teachers.
These actions designed for improving the teaching process will be supplemented by an action plan for
long-term academic structure, focusing on:
• orientation of bachelor professional specializations towards the labor market requirements, mainly
the emergent one, with a real growth potential;
• higher valorization of educational potential of the university by supporting the qualified training
activities, e.g. master and doctoral level;
• organizing the research-oriented MSc and the PhD study programs/modules, within doctoral
schools with specific focus, that will be specified in accordance with the European norms and the
regulations in force;
• institutional and financial support for teachers to achieve the CNATDCU habilitation standards, for
increasing the potential of university’s doctoral schools;
• restructuring the department of distance learning education in order to increase the attractiveness
for this form of study and for a significantly increase in the number of students;
• establishing of the university’s educational system dedicated to continue education, defining its
clear mission and the functioning rules;
• designing of modules, specializations and new MSc programs, in French and English, to balance the
international exchange of students and teachers and increase the teachers’ responsibility for
increasing the teaching internationalization.
The implementation of the above actions is within the responsibility of the Educational Vice-rector and the
Vice-rector responsible for quality assurance and human resources.
One of the elements that define the evolution of Romanian universities in recent years is the new approach
concerning the partnership with students into the academic construction, as stated in the new Law of
National Education that considers the student as an equal member within the academic community, both
in relation to educators and in comparison with other students.
The recognition, in the university strategy, of the principles stipulated in the University Charter, namely to
promote the student-centered education, opens the way for considering the teacher-student partnership
as a defining element to achieve the proposed performances. This view, properly understood by both
partners, can lead to substantial and productive dialogue in order to achieve the actions previewed by the
educational and research strategy.
4.2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, we propose an action plan including the main key support
policies for research, education, and services areas.
